I wouldn't rule out Spurs being back in for him in January.
I think Spurs will be definitely after one of Fernandes, Coutinho, Dybala if Eriksen goes.

Isn't the image rights/commercial thing a problem for a buying club from any league and not just those from the Prem?
I don't see going us going for Fernandes in January, because I don't think we were ever after him this summer in the first place.
The PL is the only league, as far as I am aware, that doesn't allow commercial rights of a player to be owned by a third party. They may have to worry about the court case but even at that Dybala would be able to play through any ongoing case action.
I don't think this is the case. It 3rd party ownership of the player in terms of transfers and transfer fee - that is prohibited by the Prem. Image rights are separate to this.
Rio's echoing what we've all been thinking.Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand have slammed Juventus star Paulo Dybala for refusing to join the Premier League giants in his interview with Daily mail.
“A lot of players have declined coming to Man Utd in recent years,they’ve chosen somewhere else,” Ferdinand said.
“But I don’t know how Dybala had the audacity to turn them down when he’s on the bench at Juventus. He needs to start playing some football.”
“Maybe he’s thinking: ‘I want to be Champions League or I’ll sit on the bench. I’d rather do that than play at Man Utd. Well, I’m happy he didn’t come, then because you haven’t got the right minerals that I want in a Man Utd player.”
“I want someone who wants to come and think ‘Man Utd need to get back to being a top team, I want to be the catalyst’. That’s the type of person you want to come through the door. Ole has gone with younger players. James and Wan-Bissaka are two young, young, young players with huge potential. They’re projects.”
That’s the right word to use for me.Did Rio really use the word "audacity" ? That's too much no ?
Just because United came knocking doesn't mean it has to be automatic.That’s the right word to use for me.
When the other option is a bench and you’re being pushed out anyway, yes, it should be an easy choice.Just because United came knocking doesn't mean it has to be automatic.
That's what I don't get, players can have so many other things in consideration than just football when making decision like this. We as fans, are way too simplistic in our thought process. That's what surprises when ex players come up with the simplistic stuff too.When the other option is a bench and you’re being pushed out anyway, yes, it should be an easy choice.

Even so i think that's a little too entitled of a stance to take. Juve was obviously trying to push him out and he decided to fight for his place. Its what we would've expected Lukaku and be applauded for it rather than sulking and leaving like he did. Shaw was left out due to injuries and iirc we even looked around for replacements but he fought his way for his current place.When the other option is a bench and you’re being pushed out anyway, yes, it should be an easy choice.
Thought his brother ( agent) was looking for 15million for himself.Jeez the problem wasn't Dybala but his fecking image rights. The guy doesn't own them anymore.
So criticise his stupidity for selling them up but not his commitment

Everything he said in that interview makes him more than qualified in my opinion.Ferdinand is still auditioning for the 'Technical Director' job, then.
I really hope we find someone qualified.
Everyone keeps mentioning this but it's not different than a job for those guys.Not really. Maybe he is settled in Italy. Going from Italy to Manchester is a big move for someone to make. Not only for themselves but when thinking about their family and friends or lifestyle. Footballers are humans too.

If in your job, they tell you you are no more wanted, but they don't want to fire you and give you any leave package, and you are going to be put aside, what would you do? Stay around?

Monchi, Zorc, Bergiristain and Overmars were all ex players who became successful directors of football at their clubs. I think its important to understand the club's history and pedigree and to be passionate about it. I like Ferdinand's punditry and I think he would work well with the likes of Butt, Solskjaer, Phelan etc. to identify the right type of players for United. I mean I think we did pretty well this summer even without a DOF.Ferdinand is still auditioning for the 'Technical Director' job, then.

Jeez I couldn't think of anything worse with Neville being involved. Anyway he wouldn't be able to with his stake in the other club i'm pretty sure.everyone is toeing in line now from Gaz to Rio. I guess they are sensing that they have a real chance of stopping ridiculing themselves on TV and return home

I personally liked the idea of Fletcher doing it. Rio would have the cool factor but that's not so important when dealing with agents etc.
An outside influence can always help, but they all need to be thinking the same way otherwise it'll just cause problems. I hope this is why it's taking a while so we get the right man for the job.I think we've got enough United's way influence already in Ole, Phelan and Butt. We need people who bring new ideas to the mix in the same way Carlos Queroz and Rene did during Sir Alex time
I'd probably stay in Ireland, yeah. I can't just up and leave the country on two days notice.Everyone keeps mentioning this but it's not different than a job for those guys.

Is Edu qualified to be the Arsenal Technical Director? What about Nedved at Juventus or VDS at Ajax (I realise neither of those are Technical Directors but they still have big roles at their clubs with little previous experience)
Man Utd need to football people involved behind the scenes, football people who are passionate about Man Utd. I'd love to see the club give both Rio and Evra big roles at the club, I'd much rather them than the hipster names that were mentioned 12 months ago
I don't think the notice matters, it's the nature of the job to only have 2 transfer windows instead of being able to move at any time.I'd probably stay in Ireland, yeah. I can't just up and leave the country on two days notice.
Alright mate, yeah not leaving the country with a few days notice means they're shitty as people and not professional or whatever else it "tells" you about someone.I don't think the notice matters, it's the nature of the job to only have 2 transfer windows instead of being able to move at any time.
But if your only option, with a pay increase, is somewhere else in the world, you will take it... if you don't, and prefer being sidelined at your job, than isn't this supposed to tell more about yourself?
Evra doesn’t seem to be very professional as much as he was my favourite player during his time here. Too goofy on social media to be taken serious in an executive role.
Maybe his image rights is the reason Juve want rid of him in the first place.
Do you at least agree that when you are being told, probably in a disrespectful way, that you are no more wanted at your job, you would think of leaving, just as a matter of self esteem? Or is that also not a thing because however disrespectful the employer has been to you, the location matters more than anything and it was too short notice anyway?Alright mate, yeah not leaving the country with a few days notice means they're shitty as people and not professional or whatever else it "tells" you about someone.
God forbid people thinking differently than you about their own lives.

People are definitely entitled to think differently. However, they should also not be surprised to make opinions about a person when you see this kind of decisions.
Yes, I don't deny that, I am sure his image rights and his brother / agent's fees were big in that list of obstacles.But he thought about it which is why he negotiated with all the clubs that made an offer, the issue isn't simply about being willing to move.

I just say that when Rio says it's audacious to prefer the bench at Juventus, or worst, to a United first team, it's totally understandable. The word was correctly chosen for me.
